DTM Racing Project: "Sally" the 1968 Dodge Dart

[DTM Racing]

I know how much everyone here loves to see projects and how they are coming along. Well I think that this car is far enough along to let the cat out of the bag.
The car is name "Sally the Banana Dart" by the owner, for sentimental reasons and because of the odd yellow of the car. He purchased it last year, with the need of having a Hot Rod of some sort. The first changes we made to the car after purchase were Wilwood front binders, Moser 8.75 rear end with locker) full MSD ignition, and some basic ascetic upgrades to keep him looking cool.


Unfortunately the Winter Mod Bug bit him HARD. Sally came back before Christmas with a trunk full of parts and a driver full of hopes and dreams.



We found some discouraging things along the way.....



But we got the car fitted with a complete Hotchkis TVS and some loner wheels and tires so the owner could take full advantage of our driver initiation services, never having owned a 450hp Big Block car that weighs 3200lbs. So this last weekend we went out to the autocross for some shake downs to better plan our next modifications and learn some basics.

Since then, we've added some graphics to add some "flair" (no requirement on number of pieces).







So to bring us up to date, we've lowered the rear another 2 inches, and ordered parts to get her all ready for RTTC3.
Before then we will be adding:
-Quick ratio power steering(8:1)
-New interior
-Gauges
-Wheels from New Gen
-Rear Sway Bar (Hotchkis unit didn't fit due to packaging constraints)
-Full Manual TF727 Transmission
-Seats and straps
-Updating and re-wiring the entire under-dash area.
-Replating front and rear bumpers.
